All Crazy keeps Philly on its toes

Despite the name, the members of local hip-rock band All Crazy seem to have it all together. They're...Despite the name, the members of local hip-rock band All Crazy seem to have it all together. They're a little wild, a little silly, but when it comes to their music, they're definitely grounded - and sane.
With Jeoff Lyman tearing up the bass, Adam "Skinny" Serlin rocking out on the violin, Kenny "Soup" Worley delivering powerful vocals and MCing, Wild Bill bringing in the guitar and vocals and Marquise Fordham pounding the drums, there's no way this Philly fivesome could lose.
The combined sound of the musicians in this eclectic group is something you've truly never heard before. Drop the clichés and the cheesy lines about a new sound; they're not needed here - these boys have talent, and it's pure and it's simple and it's deliciously refreshing.
Doesn't hurt that they're just plain nice, too. They even brought flowers for me to the interview - and hey, well... I like flowers. (What can I say? I'm an easy sell.)
But it wasn't their charm or their friendliness that threw All Crazy onto our radar - it was definitely something else.
All Crazy formed about a year and a half ago - and it wasn't any coincidence that these five guys found each other.
"Jeoff and I were playing with this other guy and we saw Soup and Marquise at the studio," Bill says.
"Soup really wanted to put a band together so after seeing me and Bill at practice, him and Marquise - Marquise was a drum player so we told him to get on the drums at the practice - and then we kinda clicked, so we started practicing, all four of us," continues Lyman.
"And then Adam and I were in a band before," Bill adds, "and we had been trying to put something together and it wasn't working for a while..."
"And I was down in North Carolina when they put this together. I was down at school. So then it all came together," Serlin finishes.
"It was real coincidental, real random," Bill explains.
"Unbelievable," says Worley.
"More like fate!" Lyman adds, smiling.
And fate it was. With their very first full-length album in the works and a largely diverse (and just plain large) fan base, it seems like things are only getting better and better for this Philly band. And this, they say, is their year - the year that they believe will change everything.
"This is definitely the big year, so we're hoping that after we release the album and everything gets going, we're kinda hoping [for] a transition," says Serlin
If all goes as planned, the boys will soon be able to focus full-time on their music, rather than their day jobs. But even now, with all five boys working to pay the bills, they say that the music will always be first in their hearts. After all, it's their passion.
"The band's number one for everybody. It's our number one priority. We're trying to take it to the top," says Worley.
All Crazy's songs, which fall into a genre that they've branded "hip-rock" (a quirky combination of hip hop and alternative rock), stem from a wide range of influences that are as diverse as the band members themselves.
Bruce Springsteen, Tupac, B.B. King and the Stone Temple Pilots are just a few of the many musicians that have inspired the boys, and those eclectic influences give All Crazy the creative and fresh sound that is their trademark.
"We have completely different influences and merge them, but it somehow works," says Bill.
"We try not to take away from anybody's one favorite style; they just kind of put that in and it sounds a lot better," explains Lyman. "We all just kind of flow together, and you can hear, there's similarities in... who we kind of reflect, but we're still our own unique thing."
"It's kinda crazy when you listen to the album we're putting together now. I think it's one of the few albums out there that's influenced [by] everything- you can hear it, from Springsteen to Tupac and - there's even some songs with a Bee Gees-type influence, classical string arrangements, it's crazy. You can hear all the influences and it's one crazy mishmosh but it works," says Serlin.
Another thing that makes All Crazy's sound interesting is their use of a violin, played by Serlin - it gives the music a non-traditional, artsy feel.
"The cool thing about a violin is that it can fit in pretty much [every] different type of music," says Serlin.
"What happened with me is that I was classically trained from like, second grade to about junior year of high school and then it was just kind of boring playing written music and everything, and then I met Bill and we were in a band before and it just kind of worked that way, and then... I don't know, it's just grown, I guess."
Serlin adds that the use of a violin in a rock or hip-hop band isn't as unique as one might think, but All Crazy's technique and style makes it a different experience.
"There's a lot of violins in major songs," he explains. "You just don't realize it because they're in the background and orchestra. But there aren't very many violinists out there that play with bands, really. It's definitely something different. But now there are a lot of bands out there that are hiring violinists to come on the road with them, but the violinist isn't in any way involved with the songwriting process. It's just a gimmick. We use it a different way."
You'll be able to hear that difference for yourself in a few months, when All Crazy's debut album, Sex, Drugs and Hip-Rock comes out on September 22.
"It's been about a year in the making," Lyman says.
"Shout outs to Aurum Recording," adds Serlin, referring to the studio that produced the band's new album. "We had all these individual influences, and then we sat down with Paul [Atkinson] and he kinda helped us form things into a pretty unique vision that works."
"The album's consistent," Bill says. "The songs are different, but they're consistent. They all fit in the album; nothing's out of the ordinary."
"And there are a lot of pop elements that can bring us pretty much anywhere," says Lyman. "The doors are kinda just open because of our range of style. It's pretty exciting. We've been waiting a long time for it, so it's coming along pretty well."
Look for the album at All Crazy's shows, on iTunes and on MySpace (myspace.com/allcrazyphilly).
"We're going to try and get it distributed locally in some stores as well," says Serlin.
The songs, say the boys, are about... well, just look at the album title.
"Yeah, we party!" Bill says, smiling. "The name of the album describes it all."
But lest you think that All Crazy's got just, uh, three things on their minds, we assure you that they're a little deeper than that. They're all about promoting respect and diversity - it just isn't something you'll hear them sing about. Instead, they prefer to make a statement in a different way.
"We don't really talk about it that much, but you see us on stage - we're all from very different backgrounds, but we all hang out a ton in each other's neighborhoods, and our shows are the craziest thing 'cause they have a lot of inner-city contingents: You've got suburban people, people from private schools, public schools, black, white, Asian, it doesn't matter," says Serlin.
"And we don't really need to say it, like, none of our songs are about it, but I feel like it's just a giant party wherever we go, and all these different people are there, and we're not one of those bands that goes, 'Oh, this is what we're about,' it's just kinda, we're friends, a family - the 'All Crazy family' is what we call it."
And who wouldn't want to be a part of a family like that? In the City of Brotherly Love, well - that's what it's all about. And crazy or not, these five talented musicians definitely have their priorities straight.

Wild Bill is so right.
All Crazy is a roaring celebration

everything: Pop/Punk, Hip-hop,
Classical. Think Public Enemy meet
The Roots meet Blink-182 meet
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart playing
80’s metal riffs on his violin. All
Crazy delivers what they promise: hiprock.
Blare this album after you’ve just
been rejected. Crank it up when youcan’t decide what to do. Blast it whenyou’re stuck in traffic and late for work. This is the perfect music to
reassure you that life isn’t so bad.

With a mixture of alternative, rock, hip-hop, and other genres, All Crazy will instantly win your heart over. You will become instantly hooked on their catchy lyrics and overall “feel good” persona. What really makes this band stand out is the fact that I enjoyed listening to the various styles of the music I was listening too.
It is really hard to describe the band as I think this is a good thing. All I can say is that if you are one who enjoys a variety of sounds/styles then this group is going to blow you away; they did me. I have not heard a group like this in a long time, and I happy to be a part of the whole experience. With the release of their debut effort (Sex, Drugs, & Hip-Rock), All Crazy is showing us that they have the talent to be here. All Crazy gets a solid A+ from Junior’s Cave. Nice Work guys!

ABOUT THEIR CD 'SEX, D...'SMACKED IN THE FACE'
WILD BILL AND SKINNY FROM ALL CRAZY TALK TO ROCKWIRED
ABOUT THEIR CD 'SEX, DRUGS & HIP-HOP,' FINDING THEIR SOUND,
AND GETTING FOLKS TO TAKE THEIR SHIRTS OFF
- Interviewed by Brian Lush
We live in a time where there is nothing to celebrate. The war in Iraq is now five years old, the country is knee deep in a recession that analysts say will only get worse, and a week ago, I was reading about this binary star that is about to supernova, and guess who is in the way of it's gamma ray blast? These are not the times to be shaking ones ass, but one listen to ALL CRAZY's debut CD 'SEX DRUGS & HIP-ROCK' will have you doing just that, with their blend of guitar driven rock n' roll with rap lyrics, the craziest bass lines and get this - violins!!! In an age where the world seems to be coming apart at a frightening rate, it is inspiring to see the members of ALL CRAZY come together and make it happen despite the fact that each of them comes from a different place, socially, racially, and musically. But then again, what else would you expect from a band based out of the 'City of Brotherly Love'? "Any clashes we may have (within the band) are mostly musical." assures violinist ADAM SERLIN (a.k.a. SKINNY) "We don't really have any cultural clashes. Our families are all very close now so we call everything the ALL CRAZY family; the fans, friends, the band. It's become a big movement where everyone is hanging out and having fun."
ROCKWIRED spoke with singer/guitarist BILLY POUNDS (WILD BILL) and violinist ADAM SERLIN(SKINNY) of ALL CRAZY. Here is how it went.
How are things going?
WILD BILL: We're pretty busy.
SKINNY: We just played a show last night in Philly. Last Saturday, we were in New York City, and now we're getting ready to hit the studio to start working on our second album this Saturday.
How old is this album (SEX, DRUGS & HIP-ROCK) that I've got now?
WILD BILL: It's about a year old.
And you guys are already starting on the second one?
WILD BILL: Yeah, we're moving quick!
And you guys started out in 2005, right?
SKINNY: It might've been 2006, I believe.
WILD BILL: It sort of started out in 2005, and then we sort of had everything established in 2006.
So how did this league of extraordinary gentlemen come together? How did it all begin?
WILD BILL: The "league" started a long time ago.
SKINNY: Me and WILD BILL were playing music together since we were fifteen, and playing in the bars in Philly. We had another band that broke up when we were in college. I ended up down in North Carolina, and BILL, you can say how you met everyone up in Philly.
WILD BILL: We spent to years in depression, trying to find some band memebers. I went to the University here and I met some of the other guys in the band at a local studio and things just kind of clicked. We were open to doing something different,and here we are today.
SKINNY: Our other vocalist, BIG SOUP (KENNETH WORLEY) owns a barbershop and MARQUISE FORDHAM ("DIMES") was a jazz drummer that was on tour and had come back to Philly. He (MARQUISE) went and get his hair cut at the shop and they started talking and SOUP always dreamed about being in a band, and they were looking for musicians to link up with. So, it just kind of came together.
Explain the image that's on the front cover.
WILD BILL: Thats the 'mental hospital' dude.
SKINNY: That's our little mascot. A tattoo artist drew that for us.
WILD BILL: The guy is in a strait jacket, with the blood coming out. He's in a dark hallway somewhere. The image is a little dark, and there are some dark spots on the album, but the album is pretty-
SKINNY: It's an upbeat party album, but that guy is kind of lovable to us. He's a lovable cartoon chracter, and on the back of the album, you'll notice that he chewed his way out of the strait jacket.
WILD BILL: He escaped.
Well, I was looking at the inner flap of the CD and I figured that any band that has an LP of PARALLEL LINES was a band that I wanted to interview.
SKINNY: (Laughs)
So BILL, how did things begin for you musically?
WILD BILL: I've been playing music for a long time. Since I was ten. I never took lessons, I just picked it up myself. As far as musical influences go, I've gotta put GUNS N' ROSES up there. They are one of my biggest influences. Vocally, SPRINGSTEEN is probably one of my biggest influences.
SKINNY: A man born to the wrong generation.
WILD BILL: Yeah, I was made for the 80's. But I was made in the eighties though.
Well, you missed out. How about you SKINNY?
SKINNY: Aw man! I started way back in the second grade. I went to a school where my teacher was a violin player. She made the entire class learn how to play the violin for a year. Gradually, all of my classmates dropped off, and I kept playing and by the time I was in high school, I was in all of these classical orchestras and I got pretty bored with it.
WILD BILL: Then he met me and he started rockin'.
SKINNY: Yeah, I got a little bored and then I got an electric violin and then I really started to love it - doing something different and taking it a little bit out of the box. I still use my classical training but I think I've wandered pretty far off the beaten path at this point in time.
With a band like ALL CRAZY, did you guys intentionally set out to do a 'rap-rock' thing or did that just happen naturally?
WILD BILL: It just happened. We definitely have a sound, but we don't try to go for anything like that. We weren't going for that rap-rock thing. It's just that we have a lot of rock elements and we have some natural hip-hop elements, from what people grew up with and the different backgrounds of the members of the band.
SKINNY: For some reason, it's the blend of people that's important to us. The five of us work well together as musicians, and then everyone is pretty open-minded and diverse. So, I don't think that we were intending to do the whole rap-rock thing. We all just met each other and it kind of happened.
How do people at your shows react to the music?
WILD BILL: I would have to say that the live shows are our biggest element. When you see us live, you can see the diversity in the crowd and there are people that listen to hip-hop primarily and there are people that listen to rock primarily and we just get the adrenaline pumping and we get everyone going crazy.
SKINNY: Our last show was at the BITTER END in New York and we always bring party buses with us on the road and it was the craziest combination. You have real inner city people dancing up on tables with real, suburban. dainty girls. Its just this crazy mix. Everyone is jumping around and taking their shirts off. Goodtimes!
WILD BILL: Everybody loves each other! We don't have any problems.
Tell me about the other bandmates. Who are they, and what do you feel that each of them brings to the table, musically,creatively, and personality-wise?
WILD BILL: GEOFF LYMAN (a.k.a. LIMBS) is the bass player. He is extremely solid. He's been playing for a long time and classically taught. He and our drummer MARQUISE play very well together.
SKINNY: MARQUISE is crazy. He's like ANIMAL from THE MUPPETS. He's just going crazy at shows, driving the energy. Our vocalist BIG SOUP is another guy who was always a Hip-Hop guy but for some reason always wanted to really be in a band. Now, he's taking full advantage of it. I'd say he's now, more of a vocalist. We turned him into a stage diving rock star. He's just a rock n roll character.
What all goes into writing songs for this band?
WILD BILL: A lot of times, SKINNY and I will try to come up with a melody and some sort of rhythm. We'll put it together and bring it to practice and everyone will build on it. The vocalist and I will work out different vocal patterns and SKINNY has a part in writing some of the lyrics.
SKINNY: It's a process by collaboration. By the end of practice a song turns into someting different. We write alot of our hooks together as a band.
How long did it take to make SEX DRUGS AND HIP-ROCK?
WILD BILL: A year.
SKINNY: A year in the studio.
On this album, are there any tracks that sort of stand out for you?
SKINNY: WRONG TIME is the song that we picked as our single because it showcases everything about the band. It's got these really big string arrangements, and a catchy modern rock hook that does have the hip-hop lyrics. The girls seem to really like that song and that pushes album sales.
WILD BILL: That's a good one! Then there's JUNGLE JUICE. People are drawn to that song. It's kind of a party song. The other one that we're proud of is the track called ONE SHOT. It's the last song on the album. In that one, we're talking about social problems in the inner city. It's a subject that's near and dear to us.
SKINNY: It strikes home with us because we work with juvenile delinquents in Philadelphia and some of the lyrics come directly from some of our experiences. The album as a whole is a fun, upbeat party album, but that song has more personal meaning to us.
You have this diverse group of people coming together to do this band. Are there ever any clashes?
WILD BILL: Not like you would probably think. We have some differences sometimes.
SKINNY: The clashes we have are mostly musical. We don't really have any cultural clashes. Our families are all very close now so we call everything the ALL CRAZY family; the fans, friends, the band. It's become a big movement where everyone is hanging out and having fun.
What would you like someone to come away with after hearing this CD, or going to see you live?
WILD BILL: After they see us live, I want them to feel like they were smacked in the face.
Geez that's mean!
WILD BILL: I don't want them to forget the live show.
SKINNY: Most albums have an overall arch or they'll take you from one place to another. The craziest thing about us is that because we have all of these influences, all of those things happen in one song. You'll have strings, and then all of a sudden there's hip-hop over it, there's rock in it, and guitar solos. I think every song on the album takes you on a completely different journey. I haven't heard many other bands do that right now. I think it's something that's really unique.
WILD BILL: We've gotten some criticism about the fact that there is a lot of diversity in what we do and how we dot it, but it comes together in a way where it has this pop sound to it.
SKINNY: So far, people have really been responding to it and there's been a lot of positive feedback so far.

T...All Crazy are trying to follow acts like Gym Class Heroes in the incorporation of emo and hip-hop. The first track on the album is "Scarface", and it provides fans of all genres something to appreciate. Where acts have tried to combine each of the different genres in the past, it seems that All Crazy is the first act to create this combined style without having everything seem out of place. The funky style of "Jungle Juice" adds another set of influences to All Crazy's repertoire.
The horns on the track attack the vocals at points during the track; where the production ultimately rectifies everything, the tension present at the early part of the track threatens to wreck the rest of the disc. The band slows their momentum down with "Wrong Time", coming forth with a very ethereal, instrumental opening. The guitars, when they first enter the track, give the song an added energy that is continued through the rap flow. The flow is reminiscent of Travis from the aforementioned Gym Class Heroes, but the rest of the instrumentation on the track places the song into a realm where it could easily be taken up by both rap and rock rotation radio. The only problem that individuals can see during "Sex Drugs & Hip Rock" is the fact that All Crazy moves into the realm of rap in regards to the interludes that are present. One note to anyone that is seriously considering using interludes or skits: DON'T! They contribute nothing to the actual disc, and in many cases, actually reduce the enjoyment that individuals can draw from the album.
All Crazy comes back strong with "Realer Than The Truth", linking together Pillar, Papa Roach, and even R&B acts like Akon and T-Pain. All told, this is All Crazy's second single-worthy track on "Sex Drugs & Hip Rock". All Crazy self released this album, but I could completely see a major label picking up the band and re-releasing this album in the years to come. The inclusion of strings on tracks such as "Knocked Out" give a classical grounding to the band that can only be compared to acts such as the musicians that provided the score to a show like Riverdance. For fans of acts like Crazy Town, the aforementioned Gym Class Heroes, and even older acts like Smash Mouth and Sugar Ray, All Crazy come forth strongly on this album.
Top Tracks: She Said, Knocked Out
Rating: 8.5/10

All Crazy: Sex Drugs & Hip Rock

Then there are CDs that have their own charm, like a little (or a big) schoolkid, so full of mischief and humor that you just have to let them into the house, even though you know that by the time they leave you’ll probably need to count the silverware, that is , if you can still find the drawer. Philadelphia’s All Crazy certainly falls into the latter category.
All Crazy’s debut CD, Sex Drugs & Hip Rock is an accessible enigma, guitar driven rap with a wink and a nod and, believe it or not, electric violin that doesn’t sound like it is slumming but instead fits into things perfectly. Actually, everything --- the raps, the guitars, the vocals --- fits damn near perfectly. One Shot --- the last proper track before the Outro --- is what Sex Drugs & Hip Rock builds to, an anthemic call and response which incorporates manic but melodic violin lines, power chords, and a rap line lyric that is positive and forceful. There is a lot of humor to this disc, however, even as everything rocks and jumps and shouts. The band intersperse angry phone messages from girlfriends with sung and spoken word responses --- most notably no Walk Away --- and I somehow get the feeling that All Crazy has left some pretty angry and occasionally disappointed estrogen in its wake but hasn’t lost a lot of sleep over it. The liner notes, with, I suspect, some tongue in cheek, thank the studio where Sex Drugs & Hip Rock was recorded for wasting the band’s time and money; serious or not, the production is great, from Hard To Be A Man to Scarface to Wrong Time (and kudos to the interlude Duby On Women), and the sequencing --- always important on a project where there’s even a hint of hip hop --- sounds first rate.
If your little brother was crazy talented, and had a couple of black friends who were every bit as real, you’d have All Crazy. He isn’t, and he doesn’t, but that’s cool, because All Crazy, and Sex Drugs & Hip Rock is here. And there tour schedule is so crazy that if they’re not coming to your town soon, then you don’t live anywhere. Recommended.

If it didn't make you shake-your-stuff, one might almost call it modern rock. In the end, there is only one way to describe the music of All Crazy: "hip-rock."...
That's how this band explain their music at CDBABY. And that explains it well. It's a mish/mash of everything. There are a bunch of pure modern rock refrains on here like on "Wrong Time" and "Realer Than The Truth" which are very good. To explain it even a little more I would say the band Living Colour mixed with DC Talk the year 2008.
Well - that's about it. Hard to explain but check them out cuz it's really cool. Violas, modern rock refrains, hip hop, funkgrooves and hell know whatelse...

Review By Sean

Review By Sean
This is not an album; it's an act capsulated for your listening pleasure. It blends together all styles of music from hip-hop and rock, to blues and classical in a spectacle of music and humorous anecdotes from the band members. It's like listening to a concert specifically preformed for the studio microphones.
Listening to all crazy is like listening to the best of hip-hop with the best of hard rock. It rocks out loud with booty-shaking hip-hop beats- both sides of party music. These two elements, mixed with the funky comic nature of the band member makes for an album that will get you off your feet.
This Philadelphia band's album is all about having fun. The music has a party hard attitude as shown in the party anthem called "Jungle Juice," and Duby's thoughts on life; the music wants you to go all crazy.

While StreetBlast.com has tried to fall into the thunderous boom boom cars with dudes talking about poverty, guns, sex, running over women, and other "my penis is bigger" stuff - we would just assume turn the channel and listen to some hardcore rock.
Um. Well. Until I got this envelope in the mail, and now I am very confused. This band "All Crazy" birthed in their hometown of Philadelphia, PA has me all in a knot, and possibly a social crisis for which I may not escape - holy SHIT there is a rap in this and I am not reaching for the NEXT button on my iPod! I am reading their information, and that "if you like Linkin Park…." er, I so do not think that does this band justice!
First of all, Linkin Park goes out of their way to be a rap-metal band, but I hear tons of instruments in this album, including strings and horns. This doesn’t filter through the whole album, as there are change-ups, but OMG - "All Crazy" is almost brilliant, and I have NEVER said that about a rap group before. My favorite song on their CD Sex, Drugs & Hip Rock is "Realer Than The Truth." The message is there, and I think a copy needs to be played at full blast at the White House, while George Bush is duct taped to a chair with the largest speaker pointed at him.
But I digress….. anyway, pick up a copy of All Crazy - Sex, Drugs, & Hip Rock - it’s beyond your expectations, literally. The album is available at CDBaby.com, iTunes, and you can check them out on MySpace! I will definitely be spinning these guys in my iPod, wrecking havoc, and running like a giant fruit afraid of withering in the sun. Peace!

The sounds can best be described as hard electric riffs, over hip-hop beats, which brings about the essence of their coined classification of "hip-rock".
I recently had the opportunity to check these guys out at W.C. Murphy's in Havertown, PA, and let me tell you they really know how to work a crowd. Not only are all the guys freaking awesome to speak with, they definitely know a thing or two about playing a damn good rock show. Throughout their set the band mixed in a few cover tunes such as "The Joker" by The Steve Miller Band, Weezer's "Undone" and a personal favorite "Walk This Way" from Aerosmith. The band brings their own flare to the cover songs and they almost seem re-invented. I have to say while the band was playing some of their original songs, that is when the crowd really went wild especially during "All these Ladies". The ladies were definitely flocking up to the group bumping and grinding right along with every chord.
The group carried their strong energy and stayed hyped up from the show's start to finish, even hopping up on chairs to play "Wrong Time". All in all, catching this band was a great experience and I highly recommend that you do the same the next time All Crazy comes to your town! Kings of "hip-rock" they certainly are!
